Anthropologist Melvin Fowler from Southern Minai University helped dig in Tehuacan Puebla Mexico revealing evidence that modern corn descended from wild Zea Mays teosinte. The excavation shows teosinte hybrids with maize through thousands of years, suggesting early Indians may have hybridized plants to improve corn. Rockefeller Foundation sponsorship notes potential future breeding for climate suited corn.
